Maeriberii Haan Posted June 22, 2014 Report Share Posted June 22, 2014 Aix, to be frank, I don't think this method of tutoring will work well. This approach could be very intimidating to the new members, even if everyone is civil during the entire thing. But, that aside, I'm thinking that setting something like this: https://www.smogon.com/mentorship/ would be quite effective if we could make it known enough to the newer members. New users that actually wants to learn more about the TCG and card creation would be attracted to it, and the entire thing could be very chill, yet effective. Also, if said new member decided that he doesn't need that, he'd probably dismiss the current Mentoring program too, and they either actually know enough of the game, or just having too big of an ego (this'll need different approach). And no, I'm not saying that we need to stop the current method. We haven't even seen the result of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flash Flyer - Sakura Posted June 22, 2014 Report Share Posted June 22, 2014 @Ain: Adopting some of the stuff from Smogon's mentorship project seems like a good idea, in the event this doesn't pan out well. So far, we've already gave two new members some help using the method we have now (PM them with some general feedback); just that we need to hear how the new members in question respond to it. That being said, some of them may think we're hating on their cards [we're not] and just ignore this thing in its entirety (which is option 2). Of course, we can't make tutoring mandatory for new members because they'll just quit YCM and that's counterproductive to what this was designed for. ima newbie What would you like help on in terms of card making? If you elaborate on what you need assistance with, we'll be able to help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aix Posted June 23, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2014 If someone could send the PM to TheOneWhoNeverCould: http://forum.yugiohcardmaker.net/user/750831-theonewhonevercould/ He actually PMed me to help him improve, but I'm not up for it at the moment. Oh and zevdemona, too. I can do it later today, but not right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never seen you besides occasionally in the last few days/weeks, so unless someone can vouch for you, I don't know of your cardmaking and design abilities.

Blake Posted June 24, 2014 Report Share Posted June 24, 2014 Time on the site =/= qualityAnd looking at your singles, your senses of design and flavor both seem to be off. You design cards that are almost 100% superior copies of existing cards that aren't even terrible, you use nonsensical effects that are luck based and degenerate, and you completely ignored flavor with Dragon Guardian.

Ren✧ Posted June 25, 2014 Report Share Posted June 25, 2014 I would love to be a mentor...if I'm eligible. Not sure if my card making is good enough to constitute such a thing, but I would hope that I've proven that I can at least guide members in the right direction when it comes to card making. EDIT: Also, I don't know how tutoring has been handled with the newer members that have used this service, but I would suspect that a session one on one with a more experienced member would be largely more beneficial than an agglomerated review-type scenario via PM. Much less intimidating that way. Like I said, I don't know how it is being handled currently, but just a thought Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The PM conference-style things we have done so far haven't been entirely successful because neither the newbies or most of the tutors have really bothered/known what to contribute. One on one is less intimidating and more personal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flash Flyer - Sakura Posted June 27, 2014 Report Share Posted June 27, 2014 Yeah, personalized ones seem to be the way to go. A lot of the new members that have been PMed haven't replied back. I think one of them did, but that's it. Just as a sidenote, if the newbies in questions are making multiple cards, I'm probably not going to say much, since as I mentioned at some point, I'm not particularly fond of sets (especially if there are a lot of cards). 3 or less cards, I'll say something. (I believe that was the case in the last couple for the most part; over the limit) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
